Subject: topics for TPAC week -- when/where discuss?
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2008 13:52:26 -0400
** summary
Three topics, expanded below
* validation for SVG+ARIA docs
* implicit ARIA semantics of SVG markup
* roles for diagrams (post ARIA 1.0)
** details
* validation for SVG+ARIA docs
Doug and I, speaking on a Hypertext CG call, agreed that PFWG would
help SVG
gain the capability to check documents that use WAI-ARIA in SVG.
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/CoordGroup/track/actions/4
Interested parties as I can see it include:
PFWG
SVG WG
Evaluation and Repair Tools WG (ERTWG)
Authoring Tools (AUWG)
I had been thinking that it would be better to do this during AUWG
meeting
time than in PFWG meeting time because validation sees general use in
the
context of authoring.
But the SVG and AUWG meetings are totally overlapping.
SVG: Doug mentioned someone involved with validation technology for SVG
that was not Henri Sivonen. I have lost the reference. May I have
contact
information, or would you pass this note to that person? Will he/she
be at TPAC?
Eric, Andrew, Shadi, Jutta: please confirm/deny interest in organizing
some real-time intersection at TPAC to advance this thread. This could
be meeting time, it could be a rendezvous over lunch or even at the
reception (last resort).
* implicit ARIA semantics of SVG markup
.. continuing from
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/wai-xtech/2008Aug/thread.html#msg199
I would propose to give this agenda time in the PFWG F2F meeting
on Monday or Tuesday, in a cluster of topics:
+ brief review of ARIA:host-language relationship
+ implicit ARIA semantics of SVG markup
+ implicit ARIA semantics of HTML4 markup
+ implicit ARIA semantics of HTML5 proposals [if time]
Does SVG know who would be the right people to join us at this time?
Do you have any good/bad time information for Monday and Tuesday that
I could work around?
* roles for accessible diagrams and role extension (past ARIA 1.0)
I think that PFWG would be hard pressed to mobilize much mind-share
for this topic at this time. How does it look from the SVG side?
